Chateau la Gurgue, Margaux
Château la Gurgue ejes af Claire Villars Lurton, der i en alder af 25 år overtog ledelsen af slottet sammen med slottene Ferrière og Haut Bages Liberal. Gennem sit ægteskab har hun også kontrollen med en række andre ejendomme bl.a. 2. cru slottet Durfort-Vivens.
La Gurgue har marker på nogle af de bedste bakker i Margaux og drives biodynamisk fra 2018. Vinene fra la Gurgue fremstille...
The 2019 La Gurgue is a beautiful wine. Dark red cherry, plum, rose petal, pomegranate, mocha and blood orange are some of the many notes that flesh out in this supple, racy Margaux. Deep and pliant, the 2019 has a lot to offer. Readers will find an especially fleshy, supple style. The 2019 is aging in 40% concrete, 40% once-used oak and 20% new oak, - Antonio Galloni
The 2016 La Gurgue has turned out beautifully. This gorgeous Margaux Cru Bourgeois packs a serious punch, with plenty of blue/purplish berry fruit, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice, smoke and tobacco. Succulent and racy to the core, La Gurgue hits all the right notes. I would prefer to drink the 2016 over the next decade or so, while the wine retains its youthful juiciness. - Antonio Galloni
